The incremental sorts for DISTINCT will likely be a reference to 3c6fc5820, so, not the same thing as 1349d2790. I don't see anything there relating to 1349d2790. > also > <<<< "the query planner ....., and execute window functions more efficiently." > since the query planner doesn't execute anything. probably "and > optimize window functions execution"? Yeah, that or "and optimize window functions so they execute more efficiently" is likely an improvement there. David
